RUN 1709 Venue: Old Col Awards and SS1500!! Hare: The Bill 16 March 2015

This had every chance of being the best yet 1500th
run night, naturally for one of our Older
Hashers, SS. and it happened to coincide with the Annual Awards Night (held
yearly).

THE RUN

Billy Goat set a beaut little run, down Mair, through Old Tanya’s carpark, we then skirted
below Camp and through a narrow “private” access to Sturt St much to the chagrin
of a resident. We then headed east but deviated in the mall to run past the Old Hamburger Cart to see if Silic was
there yet.We waved to the other Old Bill’s on Dana St then on to
remember the days of the Old School
yard where we used to laugh a lot.We then
ran through the Old jail, on to the Old brewery to wave to Old Bertie, on back along Lydiard down
to the Drink Stop at the Old ANA
building (All Natives Association). Appropriately
a Mr Ginn unveiled 1925 foundation stone on Old St Patrick’s day 1925).

THE DOWN DOWNS

Welcomes
backs to lot of distinguished
older and some just kinda former hashers who were gathering at Old Col to
acknowledge the first ever 1500th Run for one of our own.SS
has run something approaching 88% of Ballarat Sovereign Hash runs since inception
by Founding Father Ed (WILBUR) Davis.WILBUR
regally headed a bunch that also returned to the fold including SPIDER, PUFFER, GASSER, LEN EVANS, CC, HOT
LIPS, SEMEN, SPANNA, SQUIZZY and REMOTE.

We also had several First Timers for the night, all
the way from Germany, Katja and Kristina,
and all the way from central Victoria, Newstead
NED and Bendigo BEN. The virgins
balanced the Vets with their youth. Fresh from Busselton, In Limbo was the principal representative delegate from outside Hash
kennels

Lots of acknowledging Down Downs were forthcoming
for SS along with a few gifts to mark the occasion;

Photo printed1500 T shirt, a singing fish and a
fancy pen. His “Oh SS Boy” song was
done proppa by APob.

Happy Birthday Little Evil, could he choose between the delectable Deutsche? The Invading central vic boys almost stole them and the scene.
